Right @bkobow05? Or keep him and see if he can figure out the swing and miss. I'm wondering if the industry is looking at him as a swing-and-missier Brett Gardner type who is a potential +10 defender in LF and that with his tools is why he's still thought of highly. Callis and Mayo don't make great lists, but I wouldn't rush to sell him. Mostly because I don't want to sell anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ton of recency bias with the draft picks (Keston nonwithstanding) ranking as high as they are. I like our international class, but there's no way you can justifiably rank Ernesto and Rodriguez as top 30 prospects going off of nothing but showcases when they were 15 years old. Also, some of the blurbs have blatantly wrong information. Trey Supak doesn't sit in the low 90's any more, he's high 80's bumping 91. Burnes' gets praised for the FB and knocked for his secondaries (with a backhanded compliment on the SL), and that's not true either his out pitch is the SL. No one should ever describe Trent Clark's swing as "explosive". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one of the deepest farms in baseball so when you make nine changes to it, it's going to be under scrutiny. Not like Mayo or Callis are really good at these things anyways. Most of the team lists are butchered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 We're "showing interest" in Joe Smith. Personally, I want him here for no other reason than to heckle the hell out of him. As you know, I went to college with Joe so I'm kinda partial here. Would love to have him just for the sake of knowing someone personally on the Brewers.

But the limited video and in person looks are really hurting his rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably say it's more of the industry moving past him simply because of the fact that he doesn't get the exposure to these kids like he used to. He got the bigger job with more TV obligations and he's just not out there like he used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehead430 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thank god for Shaw. Im meh in the Swarzak trade. I dont like rentals but he will be a veteran to turn to in big games, hes having a very solid year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans0021 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Well, Davies' last two starts have been encouraging. Would be a big boost if he went back to not being terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
